Thanks for listening, and enjoy the show. DIE #1 Written by Kieron Gillen with art by Stephanie Hans. DIE is a pitch-black fantasy where a group of forty-something adults have to deal with the returning unearthly horror they barely survived as teenage role-players. PRODIGY #1 (OF 6) Written by Mark Millar with art by Rafael Albuquerque. Edison Crane’s not content being the world’s smartest man and most successful businessman—his brilliant mind needs to be constantly challenged. He’s a Nobel Prize-winning scientist, genius composer, Olympic athlete, an expert in the occult, and now international governments are calling on him to fix problems they just can’t handle. Both books hit your local comic book store on December 5. Do you have a question for the show? Email robotsfightingmonkeys@gmail.com Never heard of Matt Sardo? For starters, he made the Kessel Run in less than 11 parsecs. Prior to that, he gave Doc Brown the idea for the flux capacitor and led the Resistance to victory over SkyNet – all while sipping a finely crafted IPA. As a radio host, he’s interviewed celebrities, athletes and everyone in between. He’s covered everything from the Super Bowl to Comic-Con.

Best known as one of the co-founders of Image Comics, where he created Spawn, McFarlane also had stints at DC and Marvel. It was at the latter where he also left his indelible thumbprint on The Amazing Spider-Man, co-creating Venom — one of Marvel’s most popular characters of the last three decades — with writer David Michelinie. We caught up with McFarlane at New York Comic Con this weekend to learn more about the new Spawn movie he’s working on, his thoughts on its predecessor 20 years later, the 30th anniversary of Venom, and what he’s up to at McFarlane Toys.

Either 2017 will go down as the greatest year in superhero films, or 'Logan' is the best superhero film of 2017.  James Mangold and Hugh Jackman put together an amazing movie with appropriate use of the R-rating when it comes to violence and dialogue. EJ puts this film in his top three, and Matt put 'Logan' in his top 5 superhero films of all-time edging out 'Guardians of the Galaxy.' This is a spoiler free review of 'Logan.'

The journey inspired him to create a stunning piece of artwork, and this is his story.  Terry wanted to make clear that he was not speaking for Standing Rock Sioux, but from his personal experiences. "Here is the most amazing that I took away from it. I went to the prayer that morning. This elder was speaking and he said, I'm going to lightly paraphrase, but he said, "There are people from DAPL who have infiltrated our camp and they're walking around our camp. So, if you see anybody who looks suspicious." At this point, I'm like okay what are we supposed to do. He says, "Invite them to the fire, have a cup of coffee with him. Talk to him, and tell him we are doing this for his children too." And that is no joke the philosophy of the camp," said Terry.   "One of the things that I noticed when I was out there, when these elders spoke, he said "Good morning relatives" to everyone, everybody that was there, you had every kind of race, sexual orientation, everything was "Good morning my relatives. We're all connected here. We're all on this planet together. We are the custodians of this planet, we are not the conquers of this planet. We are its custodians." I hope that if nothing else this raises some awareness about the direction we can go in from here on out," said Terry. 01:01:00Monkeys Fighting RobotsnoComic Books,Artist,Standing RockAn Artist's Journey To Standing Rockhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/monkeysfightingrobots/2016/11/23/episode-101-cary-elwes-joins-us-plus-the-best-and-worst-of-billy-bob-thorntonPop Culturehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/monkeysfightingrobots/2016/11/23/episode-101-cary-elwes-joins-us-plus-the-best-and-worst-of-billy-bob-thornton/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/monkeysfightingrobots/2016/11/23/episode-101-cary-elwes-joins-us-plus-the-best-and-worst-of-billy-bob-thorntonWed, 23 Nov 2016 19:30:00 GMTEpisode 101: Cary Elwes Joins Us, Plus The Best And Worst Of Billy Bob ThorntonWelcome to the Holiday Spectacular known as Episode 101.

Jesse Blaze Snider and co-writer/producer Will Knox’s groundbreaking online comic book/music anthology will appear in print for the very first time this October from Image Comics. BLACK LIGHT DISTRICT features six epic illustrated stories set to the music of geek culture-inspired “Black Light District” EP, with art contributions from these stellar talents: Chris Burnham (NAMELESS, OFFICER DOWNE), Phil Hester (MYTHIC, Green Arrow), Jason Pearson (BODY BAGS, Legion of Superheroes), Andrea Tamme (Adventure Time), David Witt (The Growler Magazine), J.K. Woodward (Fallen Angel, Star Trek), Michael Spicer (MYTHIC, Sons of Anarchy), Erik Larsen (SAVAGE DRAGON), and Chris Eliopoulos (SAVAGE DRAGON, Pet Avengers). “This [project] is a love letter to comics, said Snider. “These are the most personal songs I’ve ever written—while they’re superhero metaphors, I think they’ll be personal to everybody, because they’re based in emotions I think everyone has felt.” In BLACK LIGHT DISTRICT, comics and music come together to tell six separate stories with one thing in common: everything is at stake. "Jesse gave us a melody and lyrics for inspiration, then just let us do what we do,” said Woodward. “It was not only one of my favorite creative experiences, but, in my opinion, my best sequential work produced to date.” Hester added: "Working on Madhattan with Jesse, Erik [Larsen], and Chris [Eliopoulos] was a joy.” "I can't think of a time I've worked harder or been more filled with the spirit of inspiration than working on this cover,” said Burnham. “I can comfortably look at this piece and know in my heart that PummelHorse was me at my all-time peak.” BLACK LIGHT DISTRICT: SIX ISSUES (ONE SHOT) hits comic book stores Wednesday, October 12th.00:22:00Monkeys Fighting RobotsnoJesse Blaze Snider is our guest to talk about his latest book BLACK LIGHT DISTRICT.

They’re like Amazon, and you’re auditioning to play a pigeon that wears a toupee. And I was like, ‘Sounds good! Sign me up. I’m in.’ That absolutely sounds ridiculous,” said Actor-comedian Stephen Kramer Glickman. Glickman called in to talk about his latest film ‘Storks’ also starring Andy Samberg, Jennifer Aniston, and Kelsey Grammer. Glickman voices Pigeon Toady. The conversation led to an inside look at the process of developing a character. “We are riffing in this movie with Nic Stoller (writer-director), Doug Sweetland (director), and Brad Lewis (producer). That’s what’s happening. It’s their movie, and they are brilliant, and I trusted in them one hundred and fifty-thousand percent. (…) I would make them laugh, and then we would push it and Nic Stoller would say let’s try it, make it weirder, make it weirder, try it more insane, push it more. Then I would push until he was like falling off his couch laughing,” said Glickman. As a huge nerd, Glickman also talked about his comics, toys, the randomness of Comic-Con, and where his girlfriend draws the line (no building Legos at the dining room table). “Comic-Con is the weirdest grouping of people. It’s crazy. I’ve had experiences where I’m standing there trying to introduce Joss Whedon to M. Night Shyamalan. I know neither of these people, but somehow I end up in the weird situation where I’m talking to Joss Whedon at a party and M. Night Shyamalan walks up, and I talked to him an hour earlier. So I go, ‘M. Night, you know Joss right?’ and they go, nice to meet you, thanks for introducing us,” said Glickman. Check out Storks in theaters on September 23.

JAKE “THE SNAKE” ROBERTS BIO Menacing, intimidating and totally hypnotic in the ring, Jake “The Snake” Roberts was a Superstar capable of taking you down physically as well as psychologically. Slithering to the ring with a monstrous python concealed in a burlap sack, Jake used fear as a weapon as deftly as he used pain. His DDT finishing move is still one of the most brutal finishers ever unleashed on a Superstar. The son of noted grappler Grizzly Smith, Roberts was born into a sports-entertainment family. Eager to follow in his father’s footsteps, Roberts began competing in the early ’70s, making a name for himself in promotions throughout the South. In 1983, he tasted success for the first time, winning the NWA World Television Championship while wrestling with Georgia Championship Wrestling. Roberts then took his talent, and his patented DDT finisher to the pinnacle of entertainment, WWE, arriving at the promotion in 1986. Right out of the gate, the Snake sought to make a name for himself, targeting fan favorite Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat. He made his intentions known when he savagely DDT’d Steamboat onto a concrete floor, putting him in the hospital for weeks. As if that wasn’t enough to curry hatred from the WWE Universe, Roberts stirred the pot further each week, hosting his show, The Snake Pit. A talk segment in the vein of Piper’s Pit, Roberts’s show was the perfect forum for him to rile both Superstars and fans alike with his twisted point of view. As time wore on, Roberts soon became a fan favorite, thanks in part to his memorable rivalries with the Honky Tonk Man, the Million Dollar Man and Andre the Giant. WWE Universe fans from that generation will never forget the Giant’s paralyzing fear of Jake’s pet python, Damien.

Any band that likes 'The Goonies' has to be pretty entertaining. Marianas Trench's latest album Astoria comes from Astoria, Oregon, the hometown of 'The Goonies.' The band also has a talent for over-the-top, pop culture referencing music videos. One part 1980s fantasy adventure film and one part classic Marianas Trench, Astoria “is about completely falling to pieces, and picking yourself back up again,” reflecting on frontman Josh Ramsay’s own personal journey. Marianas Trench has two Certified Platinum albums in Canada, as well as many chart-topping hits, including “Fallout,” “Haven’t Had Enough” and “Stutter.” Ramsay also received a Grammy nomination in 2013 for co-writing and producing Carly Rae Jepsen’s breakthrough smash, “Call Me Maybe."

Nayyar mentioned that celebrity status has a double edged sword. “I feel that movie actors or TV actors used to be celebrated and now everyone is waiting for us to make a mistake so they can pounce on us. So they can write so funny piece in TMZ or watch us say something a hundred times on YouTube,” said Nayyar. Nayyar hopes that people realize that everyone’s journey is human. “There is no one way to get what you want to get. I really hope that someone reads this book and is sitting and their office and has always dreamt about doing something and quit and do it,” said Nayyar.

This feature film will be in theaters on September 14th for one night only. Directed by Yarovesky and produced by Cary Granat, 'The Hive' is a fun, disgusting terror of a love story involving a virus that manifests itself as eye-bulging goo. After a mysterious plane crashes in the woods, couple Adam (Gabriel Basso) and Katie (Kathryn Prescott) investigate only to find a disease that quickly goes pandemic. They must fight through amnesia and disturbing memories to find out what happened and survive. “Yarvo has managed to tell a horror story in a fantastic new way that is super creepy and intimate, yet ultimately unfolds into a much larger movie. I'm so excited that we could help bring to the world! I just want people to be able to see it ASAP,” said Hardwick. Yarovesky has been described by 'Film Threat' as “A filmmaker to watch.” At only 35 years old he has over 40 music video, 10 commercials, 3 short films, and a feature film under his belt. 00:17:00Monkeys Fighting RobotsnoChris Hardwick and David Yarovesky stopped by to talk about their horror film presented by Nerdist, 'The Hive.'

The young actor earned the role in the film because of his uncanny resemblance to Harrison Ford, and his Youtube impression from 2008. The director of 'Age of Adaline,' Lee Toland Krieger, reached out to Ingruber after watching the impersonation. The video in question currently sits at half a million views and and has cultivated a loyal and vocal fanbase for Ingruber. “It was such a crazy turn of events that the director of 'Age of Adaline,' Lee Toland Krieger stumbled upon my Youtube videos, in particular being the Harrison Ford one of course. After a Skype chat with him and a live audition, he offered me the part. It was a very strange, “one in a million sort of shot.” The odds of Harrison Ford playing that guy, then meeting that guy, and the guy being me was just crazy but really wonderful,” said Ingruber. Before 'Age of Adaline' fans were impressed with Anthony Ingruber’s Han Solo impersonation, but after Lucasfilm announced in July they are working on 'Star Wars Anthology: Han Solo,' the internet exploded with fan support for Ingruber to be cast as a young Han. Several months have passed since the announcement of the film, and we checked in with Ingruber to see if he’s had conversations with Lucasfilm. “Well that’s the thing about this industry you can’t really say anything until it is time to announce something. Again, I’m not saying there is anything to announce. I’m definitely trying my hardest to at least get a shot at it , because it would be amazing and it’s something I’d love to do. I’m working towards making it happen, fingers crossed,” said Ingruber. 'Star Wars Anthology: Han Solo' will be directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller and is scheduled for release on May 25th, 2018. 'Age of Adaline' is available now on DVD, Blu-ray, and VOD.00:23:00Monkeys Fighting RobotsnoActor Anthony Ingruber called in to talk about his experience working on 'Age of Adaline.'

Regina plays Clement's love interest. Bonus track: Star Wars, Batman v Superman, and Civil War news ABOUT REGINA HALL Staking claim on her fame with her role in the comedy-horror spoof Scary Movie, Regina Hall has frequented the big screen in roles that far from betrayed her age. Born in 1971 in Washington, D.C., Hall earned a degree in journalism from N.Y.U. before embarking on a film career. In 1997, she began appearing in commercials at age 26, and then made the giant leap into movies. Her recurring role in Scary Movie and the sequel Scary Movie 2 exhibited the 30-year-old's ability to maintain her youthful appearance, as she portrayed the high-school-aged Brenda Meeks. Hall's first film role had come in 1999 with a small role in Malcolm D. Lee's drama The Best Man. The following year, she made several film appearances, including her starring role in Scary Movie. In addition, she played small parts in two films directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood, the drama Love and Basketball, and the TV movie Disappearing Acts, featuring Sanaa Lathan and Wesley Snipes. In 2001, Hall's list of credits grew to include her first television role, as Corretta Lipp on the prime-time drama Ally McBeal, which was a recurring role for several episodes. Also that year, Scary Movie 2 was released, in addition to the Mandel Holland comedy The Other Brother, featuring Hall as Vicki. One year later, she starred in the action-drama Paid in Full, directed by Charles Stone III. She reprised her role as Brenda Meeks yet again for Scary Movie 3 (2003) and Scary Movie 4 (2006), and played00:27:00Monkeys Fighting RobotsnoActor Regina Hall (Scary Movie) stopped by to talk about her latest film People Places Things, written and directed by James C.

Edgerton wrote, directed, produced, and plays the creepy ‘Gordo’ in the film. “I think the big key of a psychological thriller is getting under the audience’s skin in a way that nothing is what it seems. That the question marks are constantly there. Their turning corners every second, thinking I know what’s around the bend and giving them a surprise. In a way that is very socially resonant and has a real domestic feel. That is a journey for them that is unavoidably scary because it is something that could happen in their life,” said Edgerton on what elements make up a good psychological thriller. Edgerton also talked about his next film 'Black Mass' and how he had a front row seat for Johnny Depp’s performance. We jokingly talked about Owen Lars showing up in an Obi Wan Kenobi solo film and how he should be more of a bad-ass instead of a moisture farmer.

ABOUT JAMES "HEAD" GUILIANI AND "DOGFELLA" How did an addicted ex–con on the verge of suicide become a caring member of the community? With a little help from a Shih Tzu named Bruno. James “Head” Guiliani, a confidante of the Gotti regime, was arrested and jailed on a weapons charge. After his release, he fell back into alcohol and drug addiction—until, one day, he came across an abandoned, abused Shih Tzu in the street. He rescued the dog, whom he lovingly named Bruno, and, in the process, turned his own life around. "Dogfella" recounts the story of Guiliani’s life, from his involvement in street gangs and the infamous Gotti crime family to his incarceration and eventual redemption through animal welfare. Guiliani’s new career has led him to save pit bulls from a dog-fighting ring and drive through six-foot snowdrifts to reach 200 cats stranded at a Long Island sanctuary. "In this funny, touching tale, a wise guy barks back at his addictions by rescuing a shih tzu named Bruno. Guaranteed to warm every animal lover's heart."— Bruce Goldstein, author of Puppy Chow is Better than Prozac ABOUT JAMES GUILIANI James Guiliani is the fifth of six kids born to a religious, working-class Italian American family. He turned to petty crime in high school and was the enforcer for mob boss John Gotti of the Gambino crime family by his mid-twenties.

Celebrated musical satirist and comedian “Weird Al” Yankovic, the biggest-selling comedy recording artist in history, will helm the next issue of MAD as the legendary humor magazine’s first-ever guest editor. Winner of the 2015 Grammy® for Best Comedy Album, Weird Al is the writer of some of the biggest song parodies in history. Speaking from the MAD offices in New York, current “Idiot-in-Chief” John Ficarra said, “Al will surely ruin his nearly four decades of popularity by associating with MAD. I still can’t believe we talked him into it!” Among Weird Al’s many duties will be writing an introduction to the issue, contributing (along with some of his celebrity friends) to the Fund”AL”ini Pages, and picking his favorite MAD article for the Vault section. Other ridiculous responsibilities are yet to be determined but will certainly do nothing to advance his career. “It was my childhood dream to one day be a contributor to MAD Magazine,” said Weird Al. “This is an excellent example of why children are never allowed to make important decisions.” MAD #533 will hit newsstands on April 21.00:15:00Monkeys Fighting RobotsnoMatthew Sardo of Monkeys Fighting Robots has a candid conversation with “Weird Al” Yankovic and Mad Magazine Editor-in-Chief John Ficarra.
